Bill,

I need to see a close up and a further out picture for orientation.  

I also have Standard NACA ducts, although I slightly altered the outline to
meet specs and squared up the ramp to sidewall and sidewall to fuselage
joints.  I have 1/8 inch mesh hardware cloth at the plenum entry to keep out
wasps, eyeballs on the plenum itself to cool my feet, eyeballs on the panel
for face air (fed by 1 in tube), and the passenger plenum also has a 1/2 inch
tube tapped in for radio stack cooling air.  I get air coming in weakly with
just the prop running and plenty during low speed flight right up to the AOA
warning - Angle, angle push!

I can't imagine one could get air sucked out unless the cockpit is
pressurized or there is no way for incoming air ro exit (my friend's E-Racer
pusher had this problem).  Generally, air should be able to get behind the
panel, down the elevator tunnel and out the elevator opening in the vertical
stabilizer

Good Luck!
